Weapon Systems
Dear Reader:
We work for the Soldier. To make the Army Strong… we make Soldiers Strong.
Our mission, in its broadest terms, is to equip and sustain the world’s most capable,
powerful, and respected Army. Our top priority is to provide Warfighters with
the decisive edge.
As you review this guide and these documents, and visit our organizations and
displays, you will see firsthand the strategic relevance, complexity, innovation,
and interconnectedness of the products and systems that we are delivering. As the
Army recapitalizes and modernizes its capabilities—while simultaneously investing
in new technologies and improving our acquisition processes to better support our
Warfighters—we will continue to depend upon the support and cooperation which
results from strong relationships with the Department of Defense, the Congress,
and vital strategic partners such as the U.S. Army Materiel Command and its
subordinate commands.
By providing our Warfighters with the most technologically advanced and sustainable
platforms and systems, as you will see in this guide, we are underwriting their
ability to meet current and emerging threats with confidence. We will continue to
demonstrate the leadership, managerial excellence, innovation, and commitment to
continuous improvement needed to meet this challenge.

STRATEGIC CONTEXT
Several factors combine to create the context in which we
are accomplishing our mission:
Strategic Uncertainty
In the years ahead, the United States will continue to
face unanticipated strategic challenges to our national
security and the collective security of our international
partners. These challenges will occur in many forms and
will be waged across the spectrum of conflict—ranging
from peaceful competition to challenges posed by hybrid
threats to wartime contingency scenarios of varying scale
and complexity. In addition, the Nation may be engaged
in simultaneous military operations in all operational
domains: land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace.

PATH FORWARD
The likelihood of continuing conflict and the resilience of
ruthless, determined, and adaptive enemies form the basis of
our requirement to modernize. Continuous modernization is
the key to transforming Army capabilities and maintaining a
technological advantage over our adversaries across the full

Within these Technology Areas, the highest priority efforts are designated by
Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA) as Army Technology Objectives
(ATOs). We do not designate ATOs within the basic research area since these

• Logistics technologies enhance strategic response and reduce logistics demand.
Focus is on technologies that increase efficiency of systems or subsystems or

Medical
Psychological Resetting after Combat Deployment: Advanced Battlemind
This ATO develops and validates an advanced unit-training program to reduce
combat-related psychological problems, including symptoms related to mild
traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
during the post-deployment resetting phase. The goal is to facilitate recovery
from psychological injuries related to combat, build individual and unit
resilience in preparation for subsequent deployments, reduce the incidence of
debilitating symptomatic problems, and reduce risk-taking behaviors that have
the greatest impact on a Soldier’s mental health, well-being, relationships, and
job performance. An in-depth six session Battlemind Training Package will be
developed that integrates state-of-the-art cognitive-behavioral approaches to
traumatic stress, while maintaining the focus on Soldier strengths, unit cohesion,
leadership skills, and individual cognitive skill building. The package will also
incorporate cognitive education strategies shown to be effective in reducing
symptoms from mTBI, which often overlaps with PTSD.

for test and experimentation. Phase I of the effort integrates the autonomous
navigation system onto the Crusher platform to provide autonomous maneuver
capabilities, and will also mature and integrate the mission execution, computer
operating environment, and vehicle management system hardware and software
necessary for unmanned vehicle control. A series of engineering evaluations and
a Soldier operational exercise to measure system performance and effectiveness
from both the technical and operational contexts will be conducted. Phase II of

power and energy solutions for our Soldiers.
Summary
The technological sophistication required for 21st century operations constantly
increases with the broadening nature of threats and the greater availability
of technology to our adversaries. Much of the Army’s ongoing research is
characterized as high-risk, high-payoff—the type that the private sector is not
likely to sustain over the long haul because there is no linkage to acquisition
programs at the outset of research. This high-risk research is essential if we
are to achieve the technological breakthroughs for dramatic performance
improvements in the Army’s systems. One such breakthrough in guidance and
control technology led to the Excalibur precision artillery munition that has
virtually eliminated collateral damage to noncombatants. Today’s Current
Force has significant technology-enabled advantages as a result of the Army’s
past investments in S&T, particularly in night vision, precision munitions, and
individual Soldier protection. Scientists and engineers continue to expand the
limits of our understanding to provide technology to our Soldiers in the systems
they use to achieve transformational capabilities required for decisive victories.
